Truth Is a Beautiful Thing (Deluxe)

London Grammar

Alternative & Indie - Released June 9, 2017 | Ministry of Sound Recordings

Hi-Res Booklet
London Grammar have been taking their time. Propelled to the top of the charts by If You Wait, their 2013 début album (a Qobuzissime record!), Hannah Reid, Dot Major and Dan Rothman have put meticulous planning and composition into Truth Is A Beautiful Thing. The young London trio, who built their previous works around their singer's enchanting voice (which recalls that of Romy Madley Croft of The XX, but also Florence & the Machine, or, further back, Tracey Thorne of Everything But the Girl), have followed a similar strategy here. And perhaps they have even perfected it, as Rooting For You, the song that opens the record, makes for such an ideal backdrop for the dreamy, divine voice. This weightless singing once again finds itself deployed in the service of an atmospheric, quasi-religious pop, which borders on a kind of new-age electro on some tracks. In four years, Hannah Read has built up her already-exceptional vocal talent. Above all, she never abuses the virtuoso skill that she deploys in her songs. Impressive. © CM/Qobuz

Truth Is a Beautiful Thing

London Grammar

Alternative & Indie - Released June 9, 2017 | Ministry of Sound Recordings

Hi-Res
Four years after their debut, English trio London Grammar returned with their sophomore set, Truth Is a Beautiful Thing, featuring production by Jon Hopkins (Imogen Heap, Coldplay), Paul Epworth (Florence + the Machine, Adele), and Greg Kurstin (Adele, Sia). Once again, vocalist Hannah Reid takes center stage with her powerful, angelic instrument, which can stir the soul at the smokiest depths before jolting everything to the heavens in a fashion much like Florence Welch or Annie Lennox. Dan Rothman and Dominic Major provide lush accompaniment to Reid's voice, creating a gorgeous cinematic landscape that ranges from dreamlike wisps to fully enveloping grandeur. The first half of the album takes time to pick up, as Reid slowly eases listeners into "Wild Eyed," an expansive moment that recalls 2013's "Hey Now." The thumping heartbeat of "Oh Woman, Oh Man" gives the band equal time to shine. Other highlights include the throbbing "Non Believer," the uplifting Florence-esque "Bones of Ribbon," and the sweeping "Leave the War with Me." These tracks provide a much-needed jolt of energy to balance the album's other quieter moments, which tend to lull the listener into a dreamlike haze. While it's an overall relaxing experience, Truth Is a Beautiful Thing is never boring; it's a comforting and often heartbreaking listen that really gets under the skin, especially with Reid's emotive delivery.© Neil Z.
